A network technician needs to resolve some issues with a customer's SOHO network. The
customer reports that some of the PCs are not connecting to the network, while others appear to
be working as intended.
INSTRUCTIONS
Troubleshoot all the network components.
Review the cable test results first, then diagnose by clicking on the appropriate PC, server, and
Layer 2 switch.
Identify any components with a problem and recommend a solution to correct each problem.
If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset
All button.
